5.0 out of 5 stars One of hip hop's most overlooked, underrated albums ever., June 28, 2005

True, they brought consciousness, but PRT also brought a style unlike anyone elses at the time(props to YZ also). Wise Intelligent had one of the dopest flows... If you claim to like REAL hip hop, or you wanna be an m.c., you need to check this out.

4.0 out of 5 stars It is classic and in a leagues of its own!!, March 3, 1999

PRT put a twist of conscious thought into rap/hip-hop and they actually made you contemplate much deeper issues than the typical rap music. It is too bad I cannot purchase this on amazon.com!!

4.0 out of 5 stars 360 degrees, December 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Holy Intellect (Audio CD)

The initial recording of the conscious man's group, Poor Righteous Teachers, Holy Intellect sets the stage for each of the group's brilliant subsequent efforts. A definite classic, this album expands hip-hop mental state through 5 percent wisdom, positive mental energy, and pure funky msical sensibilities. Wise Intelligent, Culture Freedom, and Father Shaheed lift hip-hop to a conscious plateau enjoyed by only a few others in the current music industry. With hip-hop's meteoric financial success comes industry copycats, wannabees, and hangers-on. PRT flips the script on the trend 180 degrees, and is a must have for the mind, body, and spirit of any true hip-hop head. Check out Pure Poverty, Black Business, and New World Order.
